Thanks for this awesome video!, these are wicked experiments though caution is always needed. Some tips for beginners... 1) Make sure the aluminium foil wraps around the cup/plastic bottle as smoothly as possible to prevent static discharge . 2) Use thicker wiring (3 mm) for better current flow. 3) If using a cup place foil on the inside to bump up the positive charge collection. 4) Add a pin pong ball wrapped in foil to the nail for a great discharge. 5) The more strokes with PVC pipe the bigger the voltage! Have fun!! 😉

Is the ground wire plugged in?

If we simply touch the aluminum foil with the floor...will it work?

The aluminium has sharp edges, Doesn't it let go of the charges?

It's not holding the actual charge nonetheless, it suppose to be getting extra positive charge from the ground / environment to hold the negative charges in the water. And water don't have charge edges. :)

I did not see the spark. You could have turned off the light in the room.

Can i use a uPVC pipe?

yes, that should work.

You need to stir the water and desolve the salt before putting a top on the cup or jar so it will produce more energy

Aluminium foil

Hello, I have a problem with my Leyden jar ... First of all I have made my Leyden jar by sticking aluminium foil both to the inside and outside and using paper clips ( but obviously that won't matter ) . The thing is that whenever I try to charge a Leyden jar I hear a crackling sound... But u believe its not supposed to be like that right ? I mean , when we try to discharge the jar then we hear a sound... So why are things working oppositely for me ?! Plz help...

the cracking sound might be a spark. If your two metal foils are super close to each other, the charge could make a voltage high enough to produce a spark and discharge the jar.

When you put the saltwater in aren't you essentially creating a batter? I'm 😕 confused

no, it's capacitor because you are holding electrical charges, not chemical energy. That's why the aluminium is separated from water by the cup

@julianocamargo6674

I was a bit confused also. This is a capacitor. The salted water (conductive) is one 'plate', and the aluminum foil is the other plate.

That was just an electrostatic generator, probably a van de graff. It's just rubbing to grab electors off of a material. You can rub a PVC pipe with a towel to do the same thing.
